Some excellent issues and obstacles raised in there. I know you were at pains not to be critical of MCS, so let me. From a customer's perspective they are as much use as a chocolate teapot. My solar installer went bust and I found that my install was not to MCS standards, when contacted they were not interested. Told me to contact HIES….and they were just as bad. The 1st clause in their insurance policy was that if you paid by credit card, contact them. All these companies, MCS, HIES and NMPIT all offer a false sense of security for consumers and offer no protection should your installer cease trading.
Thanks, great video, it fills me with confidence knowing that there are people like you trying to build things up when the mainstream media are trying hard to tear things down, keep it up.
Just watched your video with interest, had a verbal estimate for heat pump to replace a ageing combi. £15500 for a heat pump £2000 for a replacement combi, is someone having a laugh😂
That's £15500 less the grant
Great videos mate. Could you possibly do something on open loop and also solar gain and how to work around this?
I'll be keeping the versatility and reliability of my boiler. The more this net zero stuff gets forced on the public, the more they will resist. It's like a religion now. Nothing against so called 'low carbon' alternatives.
you only need to see how many student loans that are never paid off due to them not earning enough to tell you that degrees aren’t suitable for everyone
Very much enjoyed that and a good summary of the journey so far and both the struggles and opportunities of the industry going forward
excellent commentary with a lot of spot-on observations – really glad i listened through – thank you for posting and best wishes for the business.
Appreciate if this seems a bit cheeky (have i just caught this vlog but missed a whole string of them?) but you could do the industry a big service here – and perhaps achieve more than our governments have over the last 15 years – by, maybe, making some follow-ups on such things as, e.g. the difficulties presented with most uk (especially post-80's) housing stock where space and/or structural capacity for a water-tank/thermal store has not been allowed. Also, maybe how 'smart' (electrical) power supplies an/or solar pv and/or domestic batteries and/or v2g/h/l ca all influence running costs and will do so increasingly in the next few years. Maybe also a 'this is our experience…' of measured noise levels at actual installs, where surrounding materials (and obvs the heat pump itself) give a real-world measurement (If smart electricity is the way we are going, then having neighbours griping about 'some whirring noise at 3 a.m. from your bl***y heat pump…' is something the installation industry doesn't need – but the energy supply industry does (!))
[Yeah, i'm a retired mech eng and would love to work with such admirably sensible people like you, but my wife would probably do bad things to me if i even mentioned it…]
best of luck
I think that many of the people who have the money to spend on retrofitting heat pumps, upgrading insulation, installing domestic solar & battery and perhaps buying an EV or two have already done this. The rest of us simply don't have the money. Not to mention the government's hypocrisy of pressuring the "little guy" to decarbonise while business, industry and the lifestyles of the wealthy generate more pollution and CO2 than the rest of us combined. I don't know, but I wonder; how many heat pumps and solar panels have been manufactured in China using energy generated by burning coal and transported on ships fuelled by oil?
Why aren’t ATA systems available from the government grant scheme? I would like to get rid of my gas boiler but looking of what’s available the ATA heat pump would suit my needs better.
Compared to air-to-air heat pump systems, air-to-water heat pump installations appear to be so much more complicated, bulky and possibly more expensive to fit. Most owners of smaller houses, after 20+ years of using combination boilers, will really not want to see the return of a hot water tank. "Needs must" and all that, but really not wanted.
